Well, this is a good start, especially with the modules; there used to
be (like LRP version 2.9.4 or something) a web-based configger that
would give end-users a custom kernel and modules.lrp; this looks like
the basis for another one of those.
The network configger doesn't address the thing that was bugging me
though, which is:
a] network.conf is confusing
b] network.conf contains code in addition to data (not sure if it's
possible to break this up).
Having EXTERN_DHCP and EXTERN_DYNADDR both in there just confuses
things. There should just be two options, dynamic or static. Of course
since I don't use PPPoE there might be something I don't know about
causing this; still that should be clearly commented. If the external
interface isn't dynamic, then EXTERN_IP should auto-set to
\$"$EXTERN_IF"_IPADDR.
The Internal Interface section should be pulled up below External
Interface and above SILENT_DENY. Once $INTERN_IF is set, INTERN_NET and
INTERN_IP should be auto-set again.
It's difficult to ascertain which sections of the opened ports and
portforwards are relevant. New headers would do it:
#####################################################
# Ports to open -- these must be opened for services
# that are hosted on or behind the firewall.
#####################################################
SILENT_DENY
EXTERN_ICMP/UDP/TCP/GENERIC
#####################################################
# Port-forward an aliased or bridged IP here
#####################################################
INTERN_SERVERS="tcp_${EXTERN_IP}_ftp_192.168.1.1_ftp"
#####################################################
# Port-forward the primary external IP here
#####################################################
INTERN_FTP_SERVER=192.168.1.1 # Internal FTP server
